Lately, I’ve been receiving more inquiries than usual. You know, “Do you have this?” and “What do you know about that?” I think it’s probably because this is the time of year when people who’ve been busy all summer are settling down by a warm fire to spent their winter months digging up ancestors. I know I get most of my work done when it’s too chilly outside for other endeavors.

Unfortunately, because of my inability to come up with a system and stick with it for more than a couple of weeks, sometimes I do know I have what they’re looking for, but I’ll be darned if I can find it! Any of my systems work just fine. But I can’t seem to turn off “What if we . . .” So I have copies on copies on copies, in books and in digital format, of all the research . . . [Yes! There’s more!]
